Night guard arrested in France after photocopying jihadist papers

A night guard has been arrested in the French town of Yvelines after he left 'ISIS-glorifying' documents in an office photocopier. A hard drive and a few USB cards with more jihadist materials were discovered at his home.

The 33-year-old man denied having made the copies, according to the French daily Le Parisien. Once in custody, he assured the investigators that it was his acquaintance who had made the copies, but hasn’t revealed this person’s identity.

The case dates back to the end of last March, and it took place in Guyancourt, near Paris, at a local Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI) of Ile-de-France.
